Leglilatlt Xatei.
'The bill of Mr. Foster 1 3 withdraw
tho public domain from tho market
would have been a good measure nt
the last session but It is probably loo
late for any good purpose now. Com-
missioner Walsh is of the opinion that
nearly all thu 'amis have been gobbled
up. and what little remains will bo
nulled down by landmen befoie Fos-
ter's bill can possibly get through tho
red tape process necessary for It to be-
come a law even if the leglslaturo
should djcldo to pass it which is not
altogether certain.
Constitutional amendments are com-
ing in thick. Most of them appear to
be aiming at tho same purpose a
change in tho present school law. One
of these amendments offered by Mr.
Jackson of Smith county proposes to
give ono-third of tho general levcntio
to tho school in addition to a poll tax
for same purpose. Another proposi-
tion is to eliminate the school luiid
from tho general revenue and to levy
a tax for each Independent of the other.
Opinion appears much divided among
tho members.
The introduction In the houst by
Mr. Wurzbach of a bill to create a bu-
reau of school unlvcHlty and asylum
lands would seem to.indlcato that tho
bill of Mr. Robertson introduced
Thursday and known us the Walsh
bill will not have altogether easy sail-
ing. Indeed It Is plain that tin meas-
ure will bo Jeopardized became of a dis-
agreement among thoc viio ot-siru
and iecognizo the necessity for such
legislation as to the best and
most practicable methods' for Its
accomplishment Mr Frymlor
of Houston county u clear headed
practical legislator suggests that tho
different committees which will deal
with this question tej well as other
land mutters should combine in con-
certed action with tho view to getting
before the legislature at tho earliest
practicable moment such bill or bills
as will permanently euro the present
defects in the landed ititeiets of the
suvto. Commissioner Walsh lias signi-
fied his willingness to detail Ills views
before such combined committees.

As the Oaxkttu predicted Colonel

Of course everybody was not suited
with tho complexion of the commit-

timent Is that thoy are fairly and im-
partially niado up. Colonel Cheno-
wetli as chairman of tho committee on

mittee will not bo much relished by
the railroad men but those who know

one willing to hialntniu under any
